 Students
 Come take a trip, right to Simmons Elementary School in Horsham!  We invite you to participate in a summer program where fun and learning collide for three great weeks.  Each group of students will work together on great projects. You will sharpen skills needed back at school and in the real world. To add to the fun, you'll investigate your groups topic in depth during a field trip to a great area location.  We hope to see you there!

Additional details                    

Simmons Elementary School is located at 411 Babylon Road, Horsham, PA. Students are to be dropped off and picked up only at the area designated for this program since other activities may be going on in the school building.  

Each class will be co-taught by 3-4 graduate education students under the supervision of a certified teacher. This teaching team will develop interdisciplinary instruction based on our theme.  Classes are limited to 10-12 students.  

Additionally, each student will meet for 45 minutes each day in smaller groups of two or three students where specific learning goals -- such as those listed on the student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP) -- can be addressed. The student's™ program will also include discovering learning styles, career exploration, study skills and more. A school nurse is on duty each day.

Our elementary program serves Pre-K (4 years old) through 5th grades.  The middle and high school program serves students from 6th through 12th grades.  Elementary students are grouped by grade levels as follows (based on just-completed grades):  
∑ Pre-Kindergarten first (3 classes)
∑ Second/third (3 classes)
∑ Fourth/fifth (2 classes)

Middle and high school students are grouped 6th – 8th and 9th – 12th.  

Registration materials will be mailed to you from Hatboro-Horsham School District.  We limit the number of participants, so we encourage interested families to register as soon as possible.
A Family Fun Night will be held on June 29th at Simmons Elementary School to acquaint your family with the program and to finalize your participation materials.  Refreshments will be served.  The details about this important event will be mailed to registered families.
